“I don’t believe it!” I was going to mention this last\u00a0Monday but the eBay auction was still in progress for a 1956 copy of ‘Moonraker’ with the Josh Kirby cover. It was the price it went for that was so astounding – \u00a3254 from 38 bids! This means I must have over \u00a3750 worth of 1956 ‘Moonraker’s sitting on my shelves. If only that was true I could be making a very\u00a0nice profit as I know my best copy cost me all of 20p in a second-hand bookshop in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Moonraker\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Looking on AbeBooks I can see a couple of copies described as G or VG for around \u00a370 and even with postage from Canada or New Zealand they are considerably cheaper whilst Amazon has a G\u00a0copy for \u00a350. This is not one of my favourite covers and I don’t really like PEFF’s from 1959 either but that’s just my opinion. There are a couple coming up on eBay in a few days so it will be interesting to see if they reach anywhere near the dizzy heights of last Monday, I’ll add the final prices here next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

15\/05\/14 <\/span><\/span>First auction finished\u00a0at\u00a0\u00a3139.13 with 19 bids. Next to end is currently at \u00a374.50 with 0 bids(!) and there is now a third one at \u00a35.50 with 10 bids.<\/p>\n

17\/05\/14 <\/span>The second ended with no bidders possibly because it is in Alaska and the third is currently at \u00a3103.13 with 26 bids.<\/span><\/p>\n

18\/05\/14<\/span> The third one attracted 33 bids and went for \u00a3162<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking of prices I’m often asked “Are PANs worth much?’ to which I usually reply ‘They are worth what someone will pay for them” but if you are looking for a cheap supply try here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
